China threatens US arms companies

[chinapakistan]

China threatened to impose sanctions on US arms firms and cut cooperation with Washington unless it cancels a $6.4bn arms sale to Taiwan, in an unprecedented move signalling Beijing’s growing global power.

Although Beijing ritually protests US weapons sales to the island, it has not previously targeted the companies involved in the trade. Although the US restricts arms sales to China, a number of the companies that would supply systems involved in the new Taiwan package, which include Boeing, United Technologies, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, could face pressure in other business areas.

Why is China scared that Taiwan will get Patriot batteries? Isn't Taiwan a sovereign state that can decide from where she can purchase goods? Does Taiwan and the U.S. make a storm every time a Flanker blueprint goes missing in Moscow?

Such statement is way out of the line.

The status of the Republic of China is under discussion but Taiwan is by no-means a sovereign state officially and legally. According to the 'constitution and laws' of the Republic of China, the Taipei administration is the central government of China whose sovereign covers not only mainland but also Mongolia.

说来惭愧 I am wondering the fate of the joint venture of tg and 西科斯基， tg 也有用黑鹰的。
but Boeing has to weigh the gains and pains.

It's really ridiculous and funny, why don't we just impose sanctions on US government or Taiwan authority directly?

Poor paper tiger

Taiwan is not a sovereign state. It is not recognized in the UN nor by the U.S government.

Meanwhile, the real sovereign states like Iran have trouble buying defensive weapons like S-300.

Till now China has made two empty gestures

1. Cancel non-existent Military Ties!

2. Threaten US Arms companies whose sales to China are non-existent.

When you ban Coke, GM or Boeing I will sit up.

Probably China has done a backdoor deal with the US. Give half the stuff and no submarines and we will huff and puff and burp.

A Taiwanese newspaper has reported that a Chinese submarine entered Taiwan's territorial waters, but retreated after Taiwanese navel vessels set out to locate it. Taiwan's defense ministry declined to comment on today's story in the United Evening News. The newspaper says the incident occurred on Jan 27 when helicopters detected the presence of a submarine off the southern Taiwanese port of Kaohsiung during an exercise. The newspaper says the sub left Taiwanese waters after the island's navy launched a search. It says it got to within 24 nautical miles of the port
